Gold repair

I took my necklace to the jewelry store last week to have it repaired. It's a gold necklace that Brandon got me for Christmas, so I could wear Danny's wedding band on it. It broke off at the clasp and the jewelry store said it would have to be gold soldered together. They'll probably call sometime tomorrow and say they have it back, but with this snow I can't get to town.

Still, it got me to thinking. Gold soldered. I guess I just never thought about using gold for solder, but really that's exactly how some jewelry is put together, isn't it? And that could be the only gold investing any of us do.
